There are a handful of noteworthy pieces of music on this album like Conquest Of Paradise (featuring a chamber choir as well as some rich synth work), the rippling tranquil Sea Of Coral, and Rachel's Song, which features a wordless vocal from Mary "Those Were The Days" Hopkin, but most of it was mind-numbingly dull. There's nothing really progressive about this "elavator music" phase of Vangelis' career, which may not even compare favourably with the work Kitaro was doing at the same time! ... 19% on the MPV scale
PROG REVIEWER
Vangelis has been one of my constant favourites for one and a half decade - had it all been new I would have been deeply impressed of it all. At least I think... it was simultaneously with my 'New age phase' that Vangelis became dear to me. But why I still love Vangelis and don't care much for New Age? Simply because his music gives so much more. Yes, it's soft and romantic. Its sound is polished to the extreme. But it just IS so goddam beautiful and gorgeous, and mind-teasing in a cinematic way. Even prog- listener is allowed to enjoy the easily enjoyable.
PROG REVIEWER
"Reprise" has all (well, most) the most memorable songs from 1990 to 1999 which includes the famous "Conquest of Paradise" which was a world wide number hit and it remained at the Top of the German charts for three months. There are many other memorable songs which mesh well together on this album. The CD art and Booklet aren't just cheap and low-budget but they give a short summary of all the albums which songs were taken from for Reprisal as well as many cool pictures of Vangelis's equipment. Of course, there is nothing like owning the actual albums of Vangelis, which is why I can't give it more than three stars. But this is a very good place to start with his works. Good, but non-essential
